THE RIGHT
BALANCE OF
RESEARCH AND
COLLABORATION.
Dextile™ anatomical mesh is a product of a
collaboration with more than 100 HCPs worldwide.
Clinician feedback helped us create this unique,
truly anatomical mesh to adapt with the contours
of the inguinal anatomy.1
THE RIGHT SHAPE.
THE RIGHT DESIGN.
A truly anatomical polypropylene mesh with a patented
3-D shape that conforms to contours of the inguinal region.1,6
Dextile™ anatomical mesh provides wide coverage of the
myopectineal orifice, minimizing the risk of recurrence.2,7
And with large pores for excellent tissue integration
and improved visualization2,5,8,9,† — it’s just right.

A BALANCED
APPROACH
TO INGUINAL
HERNIA REPAIR.

Designed specifically for minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair, including conventional
TAPP and TEP, and TAPP robotic techniques. Dextile™ mesh has the right combination of
qualities for equal or better intraoperative handling compared to the competition.
